WHEN TO CONTACT ATTORNEY DAWSON

As soon as possible. Don't hesitate. Don't speak to the police in a criminal case or a claims adjuster in an auto accident case. Call first.

WHY TO CONTACT ATTORNEY DAWSON

Attorney Dawson is result oriented. A straight talker, he will meet with you promptly and put you at ease with a game plan
to address any legal issues you may have, with confidence backed by experience. Attorney Dawson handles a case from start
to finish, with personal interaction and updates with his clients throughout the process.

HOW TO AVOID A DUI

Drink responsibly. Watch your intake and drink water when you social drink. Make sure you eat either before or
during drinking. If you drink in excess, get a ride home if possible. If not, don't speed, stop at stop signs and
lights, have your lights on and all vehicle lights functioning, and stay within your lane. A simple mistake like
not using your turn signal can get you stopped.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE STOPPED BY THE POLICE

Be polite and courteous. Don't argue. Have your driver's license and registration in a convenient location so you
can promptly hand it to the police without fumbling those documents. Politely ask why you were stopped. It may
prove valuable down the road. Ask for a break if you feel you are going to be arrested. Tell them you will walk
home or get a ride. It's the last chance you will have to avoid arrest.

SHOULD YOU VOLUNTEER A STATEMENT TO THE POLICE

No, you should not. You should politely decline. You don't want to provide any evidence to the police to be used
against you. Statements and confessions should be avoided.

WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE A WILL DRAFTED BY AN ATTORNEY

To assure it complies with the Statute of Wills. Wills are relatively inexpensive and it is smart to have a lawyer
draft yours. That way, the lawyer keeps a copy and provides you two: one for you and one for your designated
representative.

WHY SHOULD YOU HIRE AN ATTORNEY IF YOU ARE INJURED IN A VEHICLE COLLISION

Because your lawyer represents YOUR best interests, and the insurance adjuster assigned to your case is trying to save
money for his or her company. The less they pay you, the better for them. Let Attorney Dawson handle the insurance
companies and their adjusters and lawyers while you focus on recovering from your injuries.

WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE AN ATTORNEY IF YOU ARE HURT AT WORK

Because you don't know your rights or the laws in PA relating to Worker's Compensation and Attorney Dawson does. He has
over 30 years experience in this area of the law, having represented hundreds of injured workers.
